Los Blancos' performance in the game earned Ancelotti praise from Mosimane on social media.

The former Al Ahly coach took to his official handle on X (formerly known as Twitter) to praise the Italian coach for his man-management skills.

"Carlo Ancelotti is very big on top player management," he said.
"When the badge is bigger than any top talented individual, tactics, technique, speed, hard work, etc., are not enough to help you consistently win. Culture, Discipline, and Respect for the team will always yield success.
"Sir Alex, Wenger, Simeone, Pep, Mourinho, H Flick, and many other top managers are not really worried about minor issues but put the team's interest first. It takes a big character out of a Coach to practice what he believes in and always follow his gut feeling and fear less."

Real Madrid are second on the La Liga table with 14 points from six games, four points behind league leaders Barcelona.
